The Lives of Gamers

Although I play online games, I am only a moderate player and do not understand how some of my friends could spend the entire weekend locked in their rooms hitting the keyboard. They would probably ask me how I could spend the entire day blogging, but blogging and gaming are different, OK?

A friend of mine, whom I shall not name, is so addicted to Counterstrike that as soon as he returns from work on Friday evenings, he would be at the computer gaming. He would not even go to bed and would eat at the computer too.

You can say that his weekends revolve around Counterstrike and his game servers. I was surprised that he took time off to get married. Haha!

Another friend of mine plays Day of Defeat. I really can’t tell if these games are that good because I cannot tolerate 3D games that well and would get dizzy. Do you know that this friend, who plays Day of Defeat every night, once became suicidal when his broadband internet was down for a week. Haha! Later, he met his girlfriend and was cured of his addiction to gaming.

I think for gaming or blogging, moderation should be the key!

FaceBook Members So Damn Free Meh?

If you remember, I registered with FaceBook reluctantly. I don’t like joining all these social networking portals because I don’t like to reject friend request. I know I should not mind but I don’t like to add strangers to my friendship list yet I feel bad rejecting them.

Anyway, so I joined and my God, I wonder why Facebook members are so free that they could spend hours just building their profile. Even though I have only eight friends on my list, I had to waste a lot of time just checking out the stuff that friends send to me and I would have to add applications to my profile and then respond. I am not sure if anyone noticed, Facebook server lags and there goes my time.

Even if you have received a flying kiss, a hug or a Thank You that makes you go all warm and fuzzy, remember that the sender would have sent the same thing to everyone on his friend’s list so that he could level up. It’s all so FAKE and I don’t understand why the whole thing is so popular.

I know opinion will rub off the wrong way on many FaceBook fans but like my friend says, “Better than Friendster, MySpace or Hi5, lah!”

Baby Store Recommendations

My friend, Yvonne, is a new mother to David. Yvonne is a very smart shopper who will stretch every dollar. It’s just as well seeing how the American economy has been performing lately.

I would not say that Yvonne buys only cheap items but rather, she would be something beautiful but always at a cheaper price. Maybe she has found a baby store that is running a sale, or she found promo codes for baby items on the internet. It is her habit to consult her friends and the internet before making a purchase.

Lila Guide is a great place for parents to seek information on which baby store to buy their items from. Of course, what separate a good store from a bad one would be quality of products, their prices and unsurpassed customer service. Such information is freely shared between members of the Lila Guide community who are all parents seeking the best for their children.

Lost My Momentum In Blogging

With the enforced break from working at the computer for a couple of days, I have lost my momentum in blogging and have gotten lazy. I know I have a stack of blogs to maintain and a list of post to write but I am just totally lazy. I get sleepy when I face the monitor. Ha what a great excuse to finally get an LCD screen!

My friend told me to stay away from my work and take a couple of days off to refresh myself and come back more energetic in February but that was exactly what I told myself a month ago, that I would start to work hard come January, 2008 and I really did slacked.

So it’s the end of January already and with so much down time, I really cannot afford to get another couple of days off already! I hope hthat I would be able to get the bulk of my work done before Chinese New Year.

Traffic Whoring With Edison Chen, Gillian Chung Yun-Tung, Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi & Bobo Chan Man Woon Leaked Sex Photos

Bloggers are one of a kind. They see no qualms in striking while the iron is hot to bring traffic to their blogs. I have seen people posting the leaked sex photos of Hong Kong celebrity Edison Chen with beautiful ladies Gillian Chung Yun-Tung, Cecilia Cheung Pak Chi & Bobo Chan Man Woon in all their glory, without even slight censorship, you know, like blacking out the nipples and crotch.

From what I understand, these images are stills from videos taken from Edison’s hacked personal computer but Edison himself said that he lost his mobile device not too long ago. Which mobile device can take such clear photos? I also want to buy lah!

So far, as far as I know, only images have been released online and it is said that the video will soon be released. On YouTube ah? The thing is, once it is on the web, it will forever be archived. Just do a search on Gillian Chung’s photos of her changing that were taken in Genting Highlands by a peeping tom. I don’t even remember how many years it has been already but you can still see them on blogs.

One blogger was asked by her readers to remove the offending photos. And she asked, why should she remove them when these are baiting traffic? Didn’t these readers themselves came to read the post BECAUSE of the photos?

I personally think that traffic whoring is fine, but to post these photos on public domain is over the limit already. What do you think?

Beverages On Demand

My friend told me that he has been drinking totally pure bottled water for a couple of years now and that I should try it. Yes, I am interested because as I grow older and with two elderly parents at home, I am more and more interested in health matters.

O Premium Waters is the leading pure bottled water distributor in Arizona, USA. I think that the people there are very lucky to have pure bottled water delivered to their door by o premium waters. If you check their webpage, you can get further information on their product and how.

The good news is that if we are their customers, we get to upgrade our system for free to the Esio Beverage System which is a system that dispenses beverages on demand using pure water from O Premium Waters.

To Each Her Own

The other day, my friend told me that she will not write about online casinos. Well, I say to each her own. I take gambling as a game and only bet with what I can afford to lose. That is what casino games are supposed to be anyway.

Even so, I still will try my best to find the most beneficial online casino to spend my time and money on. It is just like looking for a playground that is the safest to play in.

I checked OnlineCasinoLinks.com this morning and wow…the top online casino is paying $888 in bonus. That is a lot of money to play with and the payout rate of 94% is pretty good too, with a rating of 99% by the reviewers.

I think that those who are lucky and know how to play could even win without spending his own money. As for me, I never have such luck at all!
